  • Whoops

    Excel is def the mkt leader for a reason

    I loathe Ms Access but have to admit there is no peer that even comes close.

    Vs code is relatively reliable, cross platform and gets the job done. When there are a lot of people “one way that works for all” is a quality as well.

    That said, I wish open offices were better. Even Apple numbers isn’t a realistic excel alt yet (though it is super decent). And I agree there are plenty of editors that work in many situations.








  • Leave ‘em behind.

    What should be and why it is, two diff questions…

    A terminal renders a single glyph in a grid. That’s it. This stems from the days from before - when there was no graphics instruction to render anything different, and link speeds could be, on bad days, slower than typing speeds.

    Terminal rendering evolved to include ANSI instruction to manipulate the rendering-color, grid position, etc.

    However, at its core, is this limitation…a glyph in a grid…and this limitation is due to how slow terminals are.

    Terminals originally operated at a serial baud rate where one could nearly type faster than the transmission speed.

    X windows…was designed…to not have these limits.

    Terminal emulation is handy, but … it is limited. By definition retro. If a terminal doesn’t work…move on…and make something that does :)

    Or, this is our best universe and the rest just get even shittier. That’s my rainbow and unicorn fantasy / no kink shaming pls.

    Or, what if hell is simply consciousness during all the shitty outcomes: the teacher runs out candy when it’s your turn, the bus drives off just when you show up, etc.

    It would mean as we approach the hellspawn timeline, each one of us made it into the angel timeline too.

    Odds are very high we only have one universe because multiple dimensions can be reduced via transformation, but it is progressively more difficult to transform from a lower dimension to a higher dimension: that straight 2d line is probably a straight 2d line in 3d and 4d space.

    Also le boobies in class were always fun I am not sure what the hubbub is all about.
